			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, it was said that
thought in his yard May Allah subhanaw taala be pleased with him. When he conquered Spain, he looked
at the ocean, and he looked at his ships that brought him to Spain, and he ordered his soldiers to
burn them down. He burned his ships. This may seem very, very strange to some people, but deep
inside particularly Ziad, may Allah Subhana Allah be pleased with him. He said, since I have arrived
to the shores of Spain, with a mission on mind, there is no turning back, my brothers and sisters in
Islam, we need to burn our sinful ships, these journeys that we have took in life and in
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:34
			Hamdulillah, that Allah subhanaw taala granted us more energy and life to repent and to start doing
that which is pleasing to Him with an expectation that he will forgive our sins and show mercy to us
then burn your ships, there is no turning back. I converse with many people, when I give them an
advice here and there. They will say, I will try my best. Now let me remind you that trying means
I'm going to experiment something. So I'm going to try to repent and see how it works with Islam, my
brothers and sisters in Islam, there is no such thing as trying your best, there is something more
stronger, that will actually generate the necessary energy and actions that will grant you a result
		
00:01:34 --> 00:02:03
			the result of consistency to follow the path of Allah subhanaw taala. In one of the common Proverbs,
we were told do not break bridges, but with Allah subhanaw taala break all bridges that could take
you back to where you came from, to square one to sinful activities to haram and break them with
confidence that Allah Subhana Allah will substitute whatever you've left for his sake with something
far better in sha Allah Allah Allah when Allah subhanaw taala revealed the ayah

certainly intoxicants, wine, beer, alcohol, drugs, anything that intoxicates the mind gambling
divinations of arrows, visiting fortune tellers and the like all of these activities Allah subhanaw
taala said about them, that they are Satan's handiwork shaitan use these activities to mislead you
farther away from the path that is leading to Allah subhanaw taala 3020 Boo, therefore don't even

			next when the believers in Medina at that time heard this idea when this idea was revealed
immediately they went homes and the broke all these glasses of wine and alcohol that they had in the
streets of Medina to an extent that the narrator said the streets of Medina were wet as a result of
the number of wine glasses and alcoholic glass that were broken immediately after the command was
revealed to quit drinking. And is this something easy to do? Lau Allah it is not easy. It is
difficult. It is hard when I was into music, leaving that industry without going into details about
the Haram and the halal aspect of it. It was a painful journey for me wasn't easy, but to Allah He
		
00:03:43 --> 00:04:04
			Allah subhanho wa Taala after testing me for quite some time he replaced that with something far

Sabol worker who will be Tina, you know,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:52
			Allah subhanaw taala is comforting us, reminding us and we made amongst them leaders who will guide
others by our permission by Allah subhanaw taala as will When did this happen? glum? Sabol when they
strive with patience to reach to that level when they sacrifice what they like for the sake of Allah
subhanaw taala and his will work and will be it now you can own and they had firm faith in our signs
in our commands and the teaching of all the prophets only then you can witness the greatness that
Allah subhanaw taala will provide for you. So my brothers and sisters in Islam, we need to burn our
sinful ships with the intention of never going back to them never taking that path. Again. We need
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:59
			to block these internet sites that always bring you back to haram activities once and for all. You
need to cancel subscriptions to
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:42
			Any channels that usually bring you to haram activities you know them to burn your ships my brothers
and sisters Islam don't leave tails here and there that will remind you of your sinful activities
and run to Allah subhanaw taala run to Allah subhanaw taala the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam
told us in a hadith Bootsy that Allah subhanaw taala stated that if you come walking to Allah
subhanaw taala on any speed, Allah will come to you and my brothers and sisters in Islam on a faster
speed running, Allahu Akbar. So don't look back. Don't regret leaving the sins, it is hard in the
beginning and Allah will test you by various ways to stand your ground and break these bridges that
		
00:05:42 --> 00:06:26
			may bring you back to haram and while doing that always have high expectation that Allah Subhana
Allah will forgive you will have mercy upon you and will admit you to the highest gender inshallah.
And if you're still having doubts, remember what Allah subhanaw taala said In another Hadith could
see, yeah, anybody could look on door 11 Hideto all of you are misguided, except those who might
have guided so ask for guidance from me. And I shall guide you. Allahu Akbar. Look at how Allah
subhanho wa Taala is trying to reach out to us so ask Allah subhanaw taala to guide you and He shall
guide you and have high hope in Him and have high expectation from him in sha Allah. Zack law higher
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:41
